It's Tillerson: Multiple outlets were reporting Monday night that Donald Trump has settled on ExxonMobil chief Rex Tillerson to be his secretary of state. Among those reporting the news in advance of a formal announcement Tuesday were the New York Times, the Washington Post, the AP, and CNN. All were citing anonymous transition officials. Tillerson, 64, has spent four decades at Exxon, along the way fostering strong ties with Russia's Vladimir Putin. Those ties were expected to come under heavy scrutiny during his confirmation hearings, especially in light of allegations of Russian hacking during the election.

Tillerson is the pay back for the Russians stealing the election for Trump. Now the Exxon stock holders are pricing new estates and yachts.

If the US was hacked by Russia it doesn't say much about the Obama administration as it happened under his watch. That's what you get with a weak leader. It doesn't say much about how the democrats protect their emails either. Good thing we have an upcoming President who takes these things seriously instead of apologizing to the world.
